  • has to think, be flexible, change, and use a variety of tools to solve new problems. We change what we do all the time. I can guarantee the job I hire someone to do will change or may not exist in the future, so this is why adaptability and learning skills are more important than technical skills

    Consider creating a video for the project if you're in the wireless group that could be submitted for this award - includes a prize and trip to Florida. We'd love for someone in this group to win the award from Flat Classroom project. it is about how wireless broadband can be used in education. Great idea for a video.

    "Layar is a free application on your mobile phone which shows what is around you by displaying real time digital information on top of reality through the camera of your mobile phone. "
  • Steve Madsen on 28 Dec 09
     
    Another example of what is being developed for mobile computing. I assume the software works for only specific countries but will expand in the near future. Some good ideas for a Flat Classroom Project video.

    "Hitchcock from Cinemek is a mobile storyboard composer. For those of you that don't know, a storyboard is a series of panels of rough sketches outlining a scene of a movie or commercial. They are used to help plan out the shots needed before you start filming. "

    Storyboarding in your pocket. Hitchcock allows aspiring cinematographers to create movie layouts while on the go. Not free. Could be used for planning student videos for the Flat Classroom Project? Search Cinemek for the iPhone application

    Share this with your students who love video games. I love how Alfred shares his thoughts on the transition from gamer to game designer. This is a huge market especially as education moves to gaming platforms as well.

    This blog post is from one of Microsoft's bloggers and helps students understand what is required to create video games versus just playing them. Fits in well with Flat Classroom.
